I love my roosters! They are as important as any hen I have. Respect the Roo!

He looks fantastic. Is he mating with the hens yet? I'm still not getting fertilized eggs, but it's been so cold lately that they seldom get out of the coop to even go into the run. I check an egg every day looking for a donut for breakfast, but invariably I'm ending up with just an egg sandwich.

 

[MissPrissy]

Yes, he is fertilizing the eggs!

Joe, I need to come up there and check on your chickens. Those eggs should be fertile!

Test two in an incubator. If you see veins add some more eggs and get a hatch going.

Doesn't there have to be a donut rather than a white spot on the yolk when you crack them open? That's what I've been looking for, and all I've seen on every yolk so far is the white spot.

beautiful!

stunning!

Did I hear someone say test eggs?

 

[MissPrissy]

It is a subtle ring, Joe. It can fool you. Can you take a photo and let some of us see the spot on the yolk?

Your roo is absolutely stunning!
